Two problems when installing texlive-inst-20030627 on macosX
1 - No binaries were installed (platformrecognition is ok). I fixed it
by copying the image in a directory and moving file names like
tpm/binary/bin-*-powerpc-darwin6.3.zip
to
tpm/binary/bin-*-powerpc-darwin63.zip (6.3 -> 63)
Note that it should *not* be macosX specific : all binaries sets whith
period in their names should be concerned
(bin-amstex-powerpc-aix4.3.3.0.zip eg).
Of course it should probably be better to fix it at install script
level.
2 - With this fix the installation is ok excepted that pdf(e)tex
formats are not generated. In fact pdftex/pdfetex aren't up to date and
the pool files does not match. I fixed it by replacing these binaries
by most recent versions stolen to a recent gerben's tetex distrib and
running fmtutil.
